Azrael is more commonly identified in folklore as the archangel of death rather than revenge; his position in the NXE-universe hierarchy is a reference to the crazy-but-stylish pseudo-Knights Templars vigilantes from DC Comics (one of whom figured very prominently in the lamentable-but-high-profile Knightfall/Knightsend story arcs in Batman comics many years ago).

Oddly, it's also the name of Gargamel's cat on The Smurfs. I didn't know that at the time, not having been a Smurfs fan as a child.
